New High Pressure Float Type Steam Trap

Steam-Trap-FTC62-FTS62

Steam is utilized by industrial operations as a source of heat and power. Commercial and institutional facilities widely employ steam as a heating source. The overall cost of operating a steam system is generally significant, regardless of the size of the organization. Designing a system to deliver efficient performance and maintaining that performance throughout many years of expected operation requires continuous monitoring and attention.

 
One facet of efficient operation is to remove condensate from the steam system and return it to the boiler. This operation is the primary function of a steam trap. Additionally, a steam trap will also remove non-condensible vapor from the system. Liquid water and non-condensible vapor both will undermine efficiency in a common steam system.
 
There are many versions of steam traps available, and it is important to match the capacity and performance range of the trap to the steam system. Spirax-Sarco, the globally recognized steam system specialties manufacturer, has added a new steam trap model series to its already extensive offering.
 

The FT62 Series, which is available with carbon steel (FTC62) or stainless steel (FTS62) body, has stainless steel internal components. It is intended for application on light and heavy condensate loads on steam systems with differential pressure up to 900 psig (62 bar).  The unit includes an integral air vent and an easily maintainable in-line strainer.

More information is provided below, with a good illustration of the exterior and interior setup of the steam trap.
